Sometimes a little heat will let that bearing race out. Stinks like a mofo but works. Or if you break the bearing and leave the outside race still in the axle housing, you can weld a bead on the inside of the bearing race. It'll come out then.

You can't check this by just pulling the diff cover. How do you know the axle bearing is the problem?
